We prefer CASH, why leave a paper-trail, that just leaves you wide-open for ID-thief...

Uhhh. Carrying large amounts of cash leaves you wide open to Thugs. You do realize that people still get mugged in Large cities right? Especially if you look touristy. I wont even go into the hideous mess at Airport Security.

Come on people, its not 1929, No need to make a run on the banks. Its a 4 day trip.

Child PLEASE I already look like a THUG when i walk down the street most people just get outta my anyway when they see me, if they want to be adventurous, then YES I do know to fight very well if I have to

A) I live in North Miami, I work in downtown Miami, I hang out in "pork and beans" part of Miami - "thugs" are nothing new to me;B) I typically carry a small amount of walking around money; C) The one time I didn't have over $20 on me, was the time I got jacked at gunpoint - the person stole both my cell phones and $17, and almost shot me - because...... wait for it..... I only had $17 on me..... down here, if someone goes to the trouble of jacking you and you have no money on you.... you're just about as good as dead.D) Not boasting.... but 3 years in the military and 2 years of taekwondo, plus a few years in a mutually physically abusive relationship - make me more than a little comfortable slamming the sh** out of someone who tries to jack me (lest they have a gun - which I have learned, even the best street or trainined fighting skills aren't a good match against)...E) I actually will not be carrying all that much on me when it is said in done - as I tend to just carry what I consider pocket money - and use my card for everything else - allows me to keep a better account of what I spend.F) comes before GG) comes before HH) comes before I....

Telling everyone that you are travelling with so much cash is so amateur!

I'll be sporting my mohawk, so cowgirl attire would clash. Wumpy will have to be our resident cowgirl this year.

Before anyone asks: no, I will not be bringing any skinny jeans (nor do I own any).

I didn't realize there was a fashion component to this year's AMG meeting. But around teh gays, there's always a fashion component, isn't there? And it's fun to play dress up.

Well, ... Ed and I are packed and ready to go. ( I didn't pull too much of a Sheldon, from Big Bang Theory), but I always seem to over pack ! LOL !

It's about 9:00 PM here, we"ll be going to bed shortly. We plan on leaving Palm Harbor, around 10:30 Thursday morning. We should be in Sanford, Fl , a little after noon. The train leaves there at 4:00, and we should arrive at the hotel around noon on Friday.

By the way, it looks as though Ed and I will celebrating our 32nd anniversary having dinner on the train ! It was 32 years ago, July 26th 1980 , that Ed and I met !!

plan is to leave the office by 2:00, run home, throw my 1 suitcase (don't faint Wolfie) in the car and jump on 95N. If all goes well, will be up there around 4:30ish..... If all does not go well, I'll get there when I get there.

I'm delayed. The aircraft cabin depressurized shortly after taking off from DFW. It will make for an entertaining story. I should get to the hotel at about 5:00pm.np
